42.Sh NAME
43.Nm oce
44.Nd "Device driver for Emulex OneConnect 10Gb network adapters"
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46To compile this driver into the kernel,
47place the following lines in your
48kernel configuration file:
49.Bd -ragged -offset indent
50.Cd "device pci"
51.Cd "device oce"
52.Ed
53.Pp
54Alternatively, to load the driver as a
55module at boot time, place the following line in
56.Xr loader.conf 5 :
57.Bd -literal -offset indent
58if_oce_load="YES"
59.Ed
60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61Emulex OneConnect adapters come in various skews and with
62different combinations of NIC, FCoE and iSCSI functions.

67The
68.Nm
69driver supports VLAN Hardware offload, TCP checksum offload,
70TCP segmentation offload (TSO), Large receive offload (LRO),
71Bonding, Jumbo frames (from 1500 - 9000), Multiple TX queues,
72Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) and MSI-X interrupts.
73.Sh HARDWARE
74The
75.Nm
76driver supports the following network adapters:
